Rural and Remote Health, 04/27/09
Smith TN et al. - This study had a number of methodological limitations but the results suggest that short-term, intensive CE programs can improve the ability of radiographers to accurately interpret plain musculoskeletal radiographic examinations. Similar, larger scale initiatives such as this could help reduce the risk of misdiagnosis in acute care settings, especially in the absence of a radiologist. However, radiographers ability to use radiological vocabulary needs improvement. The complementary role that exists between radiographers and other members of the acute care team should be nurtured and developed in the context of declining numbers of radiologists, particularly in non-metropolitan areas. Intensive, short-term training in image interpretation may target junior medical officers, GPs and critical care nurse practitioners, as well as radiographers.
